Hello, THR! Hope you don't mind the clutter, but I just wanted to delurk myself and say hi. 
The name is Tomás Rodriguez, and I'm out here in the PRK. I'm a computer geek, caught in the wave of the dot-com fiasco, and for some reason, I'm still here in CA after it's all said and done. I'm fairly new to shooting, even though I grew up around guns (father was an ARMY NCO and a shooter himself), and have owned a pistol for about 5 years. It was just never a big thing with me. Then I fell in love with a Ruger 10/22 and my world changed. Suddenly, I was at the range at least once a week, I cared about local/national politics, I cared about my rights to own this firearm, and I cared about others' rights to own firearms. I'm now a member of the Gun Owners of California (still waiting for them to take my money, even though I got a newsletter!), and a contributing supporter of Tom McClintock. I'll probably join the NRA as well. But one step at a time.
Anyway.. He're my toys.
Smith and Wesson 22A, 5.5" standard barrel mounted, 7" standard barrel shown above, BSA PB30 30mm Red Dot sight, and my pocket folder, a CKRT M16 Special Forces.
7" barrell with mounted red dot sight. I hate it. I'm terrible with it.
My baby. This started as a standard 10/22 stainless, but after several hundred rounds, I started doing research on how to get more performance out of it. I still have some mods to make, but right now, it's got an 18" GM Stainless fluted barrel, Hogue OM stock, Volquartsen auto bolt release, extended mag release, and extractor, weaver rail, a Tasco 3-9X32 .22 riflescope with awful rings. I need to get a trigger job next. =P Its favorite food is Winchester Super X. Also shown are my Gerber multitool (never leave home without it!) and my Gerber MarkII (to be left at home in the PRK!).
My other baby. He's responsible for making extra sure I clean my weapons, due to covering them in hair.
Anyway, enough rambling...
THR is a daily read for me, and I thank all of the posters and members for providing such wonderful reading material during an otherwise monotonous workday. Again, HELLO! =D
